RETURNING TO THE GAME OF BRIDGE AFTER A PERIOD AWAY FROM THE GAME

 

You haven’t played for quite a while and apart from being a bit rusty the bridge world may have moved on with new conventions and systems in play.  You feel that beginners’ lessons are not necessary but nevertheless you feel you need a bit of help to get that bridge brain working again and to get up to date.

 

The following clubs offer refresher courses and/or supervised play sessions that should be ideal for you:
